A Carnegie resident is proposing a zipline that would sail from the Duquesne Incline to the Carnegie Science Center, 400 feet above the Ohio River. The journey is about a half-mile long, reaching speeds of 50 miles an hour.

The project, dreamed up by Adam Young, is called ZipPitt and it would cost riders $30

According to the company's website, your urban trek could begin high atop Mt. Washington with dinner at one of many restaurants and then zip across the river for a game at PNC Park or Heinz Field or even a concert. It also encourages a third activity, potentially kayaking or a ride up the Duquesne Incline.

But would Pittsburghers give it a shot?

"Yes I would," said Peggy Smith of New Castle. "I've always wanted to. I've never ziplined. I think it would be fantastic. I'd really like to try it."

"The view is magnificent," said Anthony Antonacci of Lower Burrell. "When you see Pittsburgh, no matter where you go, it's Pittsburgh and to me, just to see Pittsburgh is worth $30."

The project won a $1,000 grant from Awesome Pittsburgh, which will be used for a "feasability study." Zip Pitt still needs approvals and permits before it takes off.
